Why Is Mark Denny Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Mark W. Denny is a professor of biology at Stanford University. His research on the intertidal zone of wave-swept shores has led to increased understanding of this habitat. His most publicized research is his work on locomotion of water striders, which led to the coining of the term "Denny's paradox" to explain a discrepancy between physics and previous understanding of how surface-dwelling animals such as these insects move.
